Watch the INTERACTIVE video and practice your skills at identifying the independent and dependent variables of an experiment.

Independent Variable: is the difference between the control and experiment groups of an experiment. The independent variable is the variable changed by the scientist to test the experiment’s hypothesis.

Dependent Variable: is the thing being measured during an experiment, also called data.

MythBusters experiments are use to help learn independent and dependent variables.
